A Pirate's life

The pirate rose at sunset and took to the inlet's cemetery
With the blankness of night he found a new intruder
He woke J.R. and raised him to the top
Waiting with raw hunger
Hard port echos from deep in his eroded belly
Flames lash against the blankness
Splinters begin piercing his new intruder
Lines with hooks for catching men are tossed
Forever scarring his new intruder
His new intruder raises the white
The pirate descends below
Grasping at the hope of honor and rum
Shredding, Scratching, sniffing, pleading
Broken
Staggering to the deck
Staggering to the plank
Sinking to Davie Jone's locker

I don't actually think I've ever really read any poetry on pirates, it's a different topic really. And I really enjoyed reading this, I liked the tension kind of that built up, and how it went through some different aspects of pirates. It was really good.
